What Kind of Princess are You? – Beautiful Artwork (Original Music is BACK!!!) The Noble Princess: You are just and fair, a perfectionist with a strong sense of proper decorum. You are very attracted to chivalry, ceremony and dignity. For the most part you are rather sensible, but you are also very idealistic. Role Models: Guinevere, Princess Fiona (of Shrek) […]
MY tv – the one on my desk – is going back in my closet. It has become MUCH too much the center of my kids’ lives. It’s a BAD thing. It’s going. Today. Urgh.
I am not even going to recount it. I don’t want to remember {{shudder}}. It was demonic. I woke up gratefully to the alarm and read the Bible for a bit. Ew.
His first lost tooth. Already. I can hardly believe it. Another milestone!
I can hardly believe it. At 3.5 months, he can reach the ground in his walker and actually MOVE it a little! He is such a delight! He reaches for his toys now and plays with what he can grasp. He loves bead-mover type toys.
It occurred to me, vaguely, in the night, that my ring was catching on things a lot more than usual (it’s always caught on things, because the diamond sticks up a bit in the middle). I looked at it this morning, when it really registered (and I was awake) and the diamond is gone.
Oh, brother!! The political cartoonists are screeching about “no choice” in South Dakota. I beg to differ! People are no longer allowed to have abortions — to KILL their babies — in South Dakota. Yay, SD! They do, however, have a CHOICE. They *choose* whether they will have sex – “protected” or otherwise. They *choose* to be intimate with people, […]
That was entirely weird. In my dream, I dreamed that I had another baby, fairly close to this one… and was nursing both, but hadn’t seen or nursed one of them in about three days!! Both were boys… both were quite small. But the one I hadn’t nursed was the older of the two, and was lethargic when I found […]
I don’t know if you remember, but around the end of 2004 I put together a quilt top that I’d made from old jeans; I layered it sometime the beginning of 2005. It’s been sitting, waiting to be quilted, since then. I gave up on that idea and tied it, instead. It looks ok, I think. All I have left […]
I found a couple of really inexpensive knitting books at Unclaimed Baggage today. So, I bought 2 pr of knitting needles at Wal*Mart and began to learn to knit!
I suggested to Robby that he have the boys each do a half-hour turn in their bedroom, cleaning, and reward the one who did the best. He agreed that sounded like a good idea, and while Rae & I were gone, he did so. Bob won. So they are now off bowling – something the boys love to do, but […]
Today Rae & I went out. We started by swimming – and got quite a workout! We swam about 400 yards, back and forth, and a little more if you count what we did at each end between lengths. After we showered & changed, we went to eat at Mariachi, a local Mexican restaurant, where we shared a “nachos supremos” […]
The best blonde joke ever! hehehehe!
Today was Tim’s turn. We started off by swimming – he did great! His favorite “camp” story from 2 years ago was that he squeaked past the swim test, jumped in the deep end, and nearly drowned!! But now he can actually swim well enough. After that, we went to eat at Captain D’s (a fish place similar to Long […]
This one surprised me!! You’re an “Unschool” Homeschooler You teach your kids primarily through simply living your life and talking to your kids. You probably do supplement your conversations with books borrowed from the library – admit it, just HOW many trips have you made to the library this month?! “Mommy, look at the flower!”….”Yes, at look at the roots, […]
WHITES are motivated by PEACE, seek independence and require kindness. They resist confrontation at all costs. (Feeling good is more important than being good.) They are typically quiet by nature, they process things very deeply and objectively, and they are by far the best listeners of all the colors. They respect people who are kind, but recoil from perceived hostility […]
